Cheesy Chicken Drumsticks
Cheesy Chicken Drumsticks
So I came up with the idea of adding finely minced fibrous cauliflower to make the snack, you may totally skip this step if you dislike the flavor of cauliflower. These are a different version of Chicken Cutlet, where potato sticks acts as the bone of the drumstick. I also stuffed the drumstick with Mozzarella cheese cubes, that makes it extra delicious, especially for the kids. The original Thalassery: Malabar Snack actually includes covering the drumstick shaped cutlets with a sheet of flour (which I omitted as I didnt want to complicate it any further :D)
Enjoy this yummy snack hot with a cup of chai! Without further a do, let's check the ingredients !
